Hi all
thanks for your inputs. I have been whole day working so gotta catch up now with this.
Love your constructive comments.
I am probably too idealist thinking people would lean towards the idea of having quality content, rather than instant-injection of dopamine by a catchy headline...I think though this is because people is still asleep. Haven´t gone thru the awakening yet. Lets be honest they do a great job there.
The way I see your points of view¨
1. Organization wise...a DAO with distributed ownership should do the trick. On a latter stage you could tokenize a % of the platform to monetize and create tokenholder value. This is a fundamental issue that will resonate in coming generations. I resist to think there aren't a handful of people skilled enough that are willing to try something like this.
2. Citizens biological and psychological behavior: current social aparatus is built on fear and Nihilism. Fear creates a feeling of despair and an uncontrolled need of safety. With current mass media bombarding fearmongering news, people is currently having a permanent state of psychosis. Which then is suddenly faded away by an absolute feeling of pleasure: Smartphones.
How do we eliminate the mass feeling of fear, and generate enough traction towards fact based unbiased news.
I believe we should find some feature in the platform that incentivizes Truth. something like a reward. Its clear you cannot gain traction simply by expecting people to realize how rigged the world is. ..
Suchmoon indicates that people pays little or no attention to news. Just 15 sec headlines and I could not agree more. Its called hyperbolic discounting, and these headline know it pretty well. People working 9 to Xh, just want something entertaining.
How the do we make real facts and truth cool? How do we make it appealing? I dont have the answer but we can debate.
3. Agree education is the foundation and the fundamental problem here. But since this is hugely manipulated by Congress.,.little we can do here unfortunately.
4. Figliar0 mentions that this would be considered as a conspiracy theory webpage. But I dont see it that way. Since every news, bad or good could be posted there. Hence also rates, rebutted, commented etc
Agree on the part social medias and search engines would just censor it. That's a huge roadblocker.
Perhaps the appealing part of this idea is that you dont have to go to Google news, or NYT or sport news to look what you are after. You just go to this place and filter what you want to see. Then filter by 4 stars or more.
It would be a challenge to control porn, russian bots, and all that, but that's not impossible
I just made a 5 year old power point example but dont know how to paste it here. give me some minutes
